Biography
Levi García's football journey is a story of precocious talent and relentless ambition. Hailing from Trinidad and Tobago, he turned professional at just 17 with Central FC before quickly making a bold move to Europe, signing with AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands. His raw speed and eye for goal have since taken him on a tour of continents: from the Eredivisie to Israel's Beitar Jerusalem, where he became a fan favorite and prolific scorer, and then to Greece's AEK Athens. His performances there earned him a significant transfer to Spartak Moscow in Russia. For the national team, the 'Soca Warriors,' García is not just a player but a symbol of a new generation, tasked with leading the line and revitalizing the team's fortunes on the international stage.
Generation Z
1997–2012
Born into smartphones, social media, and school shootings. The most diverse generation in history. Pragmatic about money, fluid about identity, anxious about the climate. They do not remember a world before the internet.
Levi was born in 1997, placing them squarely in the Generation Z. The events that shaped this generation — social media, climate anxiety, and a pandemic — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
